David / Mover & Lifter 🪝 SMB

Third generation mover (family trade since 1948) that operates one of Florida’s largest industrial rigging companies with my brother. Southeastern Rigging (serigging.com) has been around for over 25 years and was operated by our father. We took over in 2020.

@SuccessWithJake Any of our employees can go anywhere but they can’t take clients or employees.

@SuccessWithJake Hopefully his contract keeps him from taking clients and employees

One of my best employees left to start his own company. Same industry. Same market. Same clients. I found out on a Friday. My first reaction was personal. I won’t pretend otherwise. Then I sat with it. He learned the business working for me. Used that to build something of his own. That’s exactly what I did at his age. I couldn’t be angry about someone doing the thing I’d spent my whole career doing. Still stings a little. But the businesses that try to hold people hostage always lose eventually. If you build something worth learning from, some people will learn from it and leave. I don’t think that’s a failure of loyalty. That’s just the cost of building something worth being around.

@SuccessWithJake Lessons learned I’m sure

@mrDFT This was a while ago. I had no contract 😂

@HardcoreElectr1 I need this logo on a shirt, a hat or injected into my veins

X Critical lift team!!!

@CalebChamberla6 I don’t know what I hate more… taxes or insurance.

This radicalized me.

@CoxonMark Fantastic car

This falls under the emporium category of our name. 66’ hardtop convertible numbers matching with 60k miles. 🇺🇸 is the greatest country to ever exist an we make the best sports cars. Come at me!

@sellercarry No. Inquired about a 60,000sqft one last week in Orlando…. $11.5M and the lot is rented out for 10 years. It’s ridiculous.

@mrDFT You ever find another building?

Recently got this old industrial property under contract. 1.3 acres, 16k SF of warehouse space, 5 tenants, Orlando. Simple plan to improve property (new roofs, asphalt, unit renovations) and bring rents to market. Rents are ~40% below market. We own same asset type nearby.

@SuccessWithJake If they had 2 or more crews, yes.

Seems like a no brainer to buy this? What could go wrong???

@SuccessWithJake Sensory overload

We did a character breakfast today at Disney $250 for my wife and 3 kids Place was packed and seats 350 people And of course my brain went into math mode… ONE Disney restaurant. Fixed menu. No slow nights My napkin says $120k-150k per day - $40 million a year Truly unreal.

@shawngorham What podcast?

Jordan Dublin - Guild Garage sold for $800M Listened to an episode with him - here is what he was looking for... 1) The next frontier that wasn't HVAC, Plumbing or Electrical 2) Residential home service with a $10B TAM 3) One Precedented transaction we could point to, in his case A1 Garage That was in 2024 - What do we think he would choose in 2026???

@fabworks_guy The elusive 17/26 Versalift. Nice.

Always a trip seeing half a dozen tons swing around like it’s nothing 😅

@Bencera It’s quite the tool

$3M run rate. +$1M in 3 days. One founder + AI. Zero employees. Once you free your mind about the concept of a company and what it means to build a company "the right way", you can do whatever you want. So nobody told me what to build and there was no preconception of what to build.

@__el__toro__ Missed the diamonds

@mrDFT Little bit more than that ;)

Wanna guess how much these beauties from Jack Row will set you back? Don't cheat. Whoever's closest is the winner. No, you do not win these. Or anything, really. Let's just say that if you give these out as gifts for your groomsmen, I'm sure they will appreciate the gesture... (price in description of 1st pic)

@CalebChamberla6 I would buy another warehouse.

Easiest thing ever. I'd buy manufacturing equipment. Four super nice press brakes, our two 10 kW fiber lasers, or a single large tube laser.

@jimbelosic @amypretzel Gateway is a 3d printer.

@amypretzel Just give the kids a real vf2 and let them go for it

u have to start teaching them early

@ShiriSpear @boston25 Now do best times to drink…

Check out WHEN TO SHOVEL @boston25 #boston #newengland #Massachusetts #newhampshire

@industrialOSguy Can only imagine the fight and the price being intense

This is an exciting one to get done in a very difficult to access market. 🚀
